1/128 HMS Vanguard 15-inch 381mm Mark I Gun Turret "Y": Final Main Battery Firepower

Complete the powerful main battery of Britain’s final battleship with the meticulously crafted 1/128 HMS Vanguard 15-inch 381mm Mark I Gun Turret "Y". This component replicates the aft-most primary turret, sitting low on the quarterdeck. Faithfully capturing the legendary Mark I mounting, this turret is the final piece required to showcase the full, devastating broadside of the HMS Vanguard.

Engineering Excellence in 1/128 Scale

  • Museum-Quality Realism: As the final turret in the ship's 15-inch array, Turret "Y" defines the stern profile of the vessel. At the massive 1/128 scale, this replica captures the heavy armored plating and the specific roof details with exquisite fidelity. Every feature, from the rangefinder "ears" to the sighting hoods and access hatches, is rendered with stunning clarity to match the high standards of post-war Royal Navy engineering.
  • Premium Material: Crafted in High Detail Resin Grey, this turret offers superior precision and a remarkably smooth finish. The resin material is chosen for its ability to maintain sharp, crisp edges on the armored joints and high-fidelity detail on the internal mechanical points. This ensures a professional, museum-grade look for the primary weapon system guarding your ship's aft quarters.
  • Hollowed for Lightweight Stability: Despite its robust and imposing appearance, this model is expertly hollowed for a lightweight yet durable construction. This intelligent engineering ensures the turret remains stable on the barbette while maintaining the structural integrity needed for a large-scale replica, allowing for smooth rotation and posing on your deck.
  • Unpainted for Customization: The unpainted resin provides a blank canvas for your artistic vision. You can apply historically accurate Royal Navy grey tones and add realistic weathering—such as subtle salt spray staining and localized wear around the base—to achieve a level of authenticity and realism that defines a world-class maritime model.
